The main objective of this experimental study was to determine how diets containing lupin meal affect the performance indicators, carcass value, and chemical composition of breast and thigh muscles in broiler chickens. The diets tested in experimental groups E1 and E2 differed as follows: in group E1, one third of nitrogen-containing substances (NSs) from extracted soybean meal was replaced with NSs from lupin meal; in group E2, two thirds were replaced compared to the control group. The replacement of soybean meal with lupin meal failed to produce any significant effect on the average live weight of chickens on Day 42 of the fattening period. It resulted in decreased average weight of carcass and breast muscles and in decreased yield of breast muscles. Differences between the control group (C) and group E2 were significant. Chickens in group E2 also showed a significant increase in the yield of the heart and stomach. The differences in weight and yield of thigh muscles between the C group and the groups E1 and E2 were not significantly affected. As far as chemical composition is concerned, chickens receiving the lupin-containing feed showed a significant increase in the ash content in breast muscles. On the contrary, in thigh muscles in group E2, the ash content decreased significantly. Ca levels showed an increasing trend in both breast and thigh muscles in both experimental groups. In contrast, Mg levels in chicken muscles in both experimental groups decreased. These differences were significant only in thigh muscles. Our results show that lupin seed is a suitable substitute for NSs contained in soybean extracted meal. It is considered optimal to replace up to one third of NSs contained in soybean meal with lupin seed. Higher inclusion rate of lupin meal in diets may reduce the growth intensity of chickens, particularly the yield of breast muscles.
